I have played this song more times than you can imagine and never once did I know that it had words. Much less did I know what the words were. Thanks!

Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation,
Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all.
Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation
In proud fulfillment of a great, noble call.

Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander,
This you will do, That's our strong, firm belief.
Hail to the one we selected as commander,
Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!


(Yes, these ARE the lyrics to 'Hail to the Chief'; it's been the Presidential entrance song since 1815. More info at http://www.marineband.usmc.mil/abt_tl_1828_more.html)
